#### Circle Basic Scan - Surface Data Method

To generate a circle using surface data:

1. Click the Surface mode icon ().

2. Position the mouse pointer either outside or inside the desired circle.

3. Click once on a surface near the circle.

The BASICSCAN dialog box (Insert | Scan | Circle) displays the X, Y, and Z center point, diameter, and vectors for the circle from the selected CAD data.

- The CutVec is taken from the plane in which the circles lies. This comes from the CAD model.

- The InitVec is arbitrarily set from the CAD model. If the circle lies in the Y or Z plane, it is -X if it is an inner circle. It is +X if it is an outer circle.
  If the circle lies in the X plane, it is +Z if it is an inner circle. It is -Z if it is an outer circle.
